Hexed (Hexed, #1)

by Michelle Krys

[whisperingchapters]

HEXED is the first book in the Witch Hunter's duology. Indigo Blackwood has lived her life as a normal teenage girl, only having to worry about high school drama and her mom, who has The Black Cat, a witch store. Everything changes for Indie one night when she experiences a death of a stranger and the next day is being interrogated by sorcerers, who are the witches enemies. Want to know more? Read the book!

I expected more witchy stuff in this book but that's okay! The story stayed intense and intriguing until the end. There was never a dull moment. Either Indie was running for her life from sorcerers, dealing with "friend's" drama or learning how to channel her witch energy with the help of Bishop, a warlock who kept following Indie to check up on her and soon became a friend.

This story was so sad! Not all of it (has to do with Indie's family), but there were parts where I just wanted to cry because it was so sad and it is very understandable if you have read the book. Indie is a very strong girl for having gone through what she did. I would have probably stayed in bed until I had gray hair. Experiencing what she did just by reading it, had me with an ache-filled chest. Of course, Bishop was always there to help cheer Indie and distract her from what was going on, even if he was acting like a jerk.

I always like male characters that are jerks and Bishop is no different. He isn't really a jerk, but has his moments. He is very sweet when he wants to be. He wears a leather jacket which makes him even hotter! When Indie saw the tattoo he has on his neck, my jaw dropped when she mentioned what it was. I hope my boyfriend never does that or I will throw a fit, I swear.

I really wanted more witch craft and that's saying a lot because I'm not into witch stuff but this book was so good that had me wanting more! Thanks to this book, I will now be reading more witch books. I need CHARMED in my hands. I need that baby. I have to wait until next year (it sucks) to read what's going to happen next. It leaves a cliff hanger! Authors are conspiring against the reader, wanting to crush our feels. The epilogue confused me but its because its in another character's point of view; watch out for that so you don't get confused like I did.

All in all, AWESOME story! Go check it out and support Michelle so she keeps writing more books! We need more!
